Parents’ Page
The g2g card scheme is to help parents/carers to encourage their children to take part in positive activities. The scheme is free to join although there are charges for optional SMS balance enquiries, see terms and conditions for details, and you do not have to do anything to register. Your child, if eligible, will be provided with a card. You have a right to opt out of the scheme if you want to.
Parents of eligible children will be contacted in writing at the end of January 2008.
The g2g activity card will help young people and parents/carers by:
- encouraging young people to take part in more positive activities
- providing funds for young people to take part in activities they cannot currently afford
- providing a safe way to carry money using the Chip and PIN g2g card
- controlling where the money is spent
- making current activities cheaper
- encouraging young people off the streets and avoiding boredom and getting into trouble
- encouraging young people to take up new activities and interests
- improving young people’s health and social skills
- providing greater equality
- teaching money management skills
